Lewis, a communications specialist with the Headquarters Support Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) at Fort Lewis, could be sentenced to a maximum punishment of life in prison without parole.

Fort Lewis' commander, Lt. Gen. James Dubik, last month reversed an earlier decision that Lewis should face the death penalty if convicted. He has given no explanation for the change.

Capital cases are rare in the military, and Fort Lewis officials cannot recall the last time a soldier there faced the death penalty.

Two other soldiers involved in the case have have been convicted. Pvt. Kevin Lambers was convicted in May on two counts of making false statements and one count of being an accessory after the fact in the killings.

Pvt. Joseaf U. Griessett pleaded guilty in March to being an accessory to a crime after the fact, obstructing justice and making a false official statement.
